Elearnity Confirms Eedo's Strong Presence in European LCMS Market
Eedo Knowledgeware, a provider of innovative software products for real-time learning and knowledge systems, today announced that a recently published report by Elearnity, Europe’s leading independent learning analyst firm, has recognised Eedo Knowledgeware as an established player in the learning content management (LCM) sector. The study, which focused on the learning content management (LCM) market, also acknowledged Eedo’s flagship product, ForceTen, as a best-of-breed learning content management system.
The growing corporate awareness of LCM led Elearnity to initiate an in-depth research project to examine the drivers, solutions and realities of the sector. They found that the LCM market is still embryonic, but this is expected to change over the next couple of years as companies face the need to realign learning content processes to meet their increasingly challenging business demands.
The study showed that drivers for LCM are largely common across organisations and include costs savings and time to market, flexibility, control and reuse, compliance and auditability.
The research process included in-depth profiling of corporate case studies, knowledge sharing workshops and group discussions, independent market and vendor analysts and supporting analysis of existing research and whitepapers, and discussion with four LCMS vendors.
“Eedo is an established player in the market with its ForceTen product that we consider to be a best-of-breed LCMS. It has good credibility and track record in the corporate and public sector arena”, said David Wilson, Elearnity’s founder and managing director. “ForceTen provides an intuitive and well structured environment for e-learning content creation and management, an extensible process framework that supports collaborative development and production workflows as well as the capability to render content to other media types such as print output or mobile learning.”
“The Elearnity study confirms what we’re seeing in the market that the most effective approach to LCMS is to develop coherent strategies that are geared to the needs and structure of a company’s business,” said John Hudson, CEO, Eedo Knowledgeware. “Our background in the learning sector has been very useful in forming strong partnerships with our customers who value our learning expertise as well as our comprehensive tools”.
David Wilson concluded, “I expect ForceTen to be a common presence in corporate LCM shortlists moving forward.”
Findings from the research are summarised in an executive viewpoint paper, now available from Elearnity’s Research Knowledge Centre at www.elearnity.com
